Etude House Fantastic Color Eyes Bloody Halloween...

As soon as I saw Etude House had released a Halloween themed palette I couldn't buy it quick enough! The palette is what I would describe as 'mini' in size and has five powder eyeshadows and one cheek/ lip stain in a sturdy palette with mirror. Aside from the amazing name Bloody Halloween the shades themselves have great names too: Pale (an off white shimmery highlight), Zombie Kiss (a brownish red creamy stain), Witch Hunting (a creamy matte peachy brown), Funky Horror (a shimmery brownish mauve), Bloody Burgundy (does what it says on the tin), and finally Halloween Night (a deep blackish brown with gold glitter.) When swatched on their own I must admit I was a little disappointed with the pigmentation. The powder has a lovely soft texture but they just don't show up that well. On top of a primer it's a different story, and the shadows are really deep and vibrant. They are lovely to blend, and last well on. Although I know a lot of people won't like the idea of a cream product in an eyeshadow palette, I haven't had any problems with the eyeshadows crumbling. I must say I love Zombie Kiss- the lip/ cheek stain. It lasts really well, is non drying to the lips and is great for a 'vampire bite' style lip.
